Possible scenarios...

I was just able to speak to the doctor in Thailand. Tim was not feeling well on the plane, got very sweaty, and then does not remember exactly what happened, although another passenger reported that he was shaking. The CAT scan of his brain was fine, his pulse and heart rhythm are good. The doctor thinks that it may have been a syncopal episode (low blood pressure leading to passing out and sometimes shaking) vs. a first time seizure. They may do an EEG tomorrow. He is getting a cardiology consult and an endocrine consult for the diabetes. He does not want to add a medication for possible seizures since TJ is pretty complicated medically and the doctor does not want to add unnecessary medication. The doctor is concerned that his blood pressure is remaining low and on a chest x-ray it looks like he may have pneumonia. That part makes me nervous!

Chip has a room down the hall-like a hotel room that is part of the hospital and a couple men who work with Tim are also with them.
